Using controlled microcosm experiments, we characterized (1) short-term (one to five days) biogeochemical responses and (2) water column metabolism along a freshwater salinity gradient of multiple salt types. After one day, microcosms were oxic (4.48–7.40 mg O<sub>2</sub> L<sup>−1</sup>) but became hypoxic (1.20–3.31 mg L<sup>−1</sup>) by day five. After one day in oxic conditions, microbial respiration in magnesium-, sodium-, and sea salt-based salinity treatments showed a subsidy-stress response, with respiration increasing by over 100% as salinity increased from 30 to 350–800 µS cm<sup>−1</sup>. Conversely, respiration consistently increased along a calcium-based salinity gradient, peaking at 1500 µS cm<sup>−1</sup>. By day five, an inverse subsidy-stress response was observed with elevated respiration at upper or lower ends of the gradient except for the magnesium treatment, which had the lowest respiration at the highest salinity. Calcium- and magnesium-based salinity treatments also caused considerable changes in phosphorus concentrations and C:P and N:P. In a separate experiment, microbial respiration and water column primary production also displayed subsidy-stress responses, but imbalances in effect sizes caused consistently declining net community production with increasing salinity. Collectively, our results establish that short-term exposure to different salt ion concentrations can enhance freshwater biogeochemical cycling at relatively low concentrations and alter resource stoichiometry.

We conducted a mesocosm experiment in which we exposed 100 intact agricultural fen peat cores (80 cm, 20 cm Ø) to five different water levels (0, 20, 40, 60 cm and variable—surface), two nutrient application levels to mimic continued agricultural use, and two water origins.

Above-ground biomass was strongly affected by nutrient application, especially in the high water level treatments. Vegetation was primarily N-limited, and N in the vegetation decreased with increasing water levels, indicating stronger nitrogen limitation upon rewetting. We conclude that nature restoration under fully rewetted conditions will likely be challenging as a result of the large release of nutrients from the system which may also affect surrounding nature areas.

However, the bioavailability of sphagnan has not been evaluated, and it is not known if it persists or continues to affect decomposition processes over the long timescales of peat formation. To address this, we assessed the connection between sphagnan content and organic matter decomposition rates in a temperate peatland near Fennville, MI, USA. We compared the effects of sphagnan over two timescales: (1) a short-term litter incubation assay using mosses from different peatland microtopographies; and (2) oxic and anoxic incubation assays of peat collected from multiple depths within the peat profile, reflecting a natural long-term decomposition continuum. On both timescales, we hypothesized that higher sphagnan content would be associated with lower decomposition rates, and that sphagnan would be selectively preserved compared to bulk C and other carbohydrates. The litter decomposition experiment supported both hypotheses, as higher sphagnan content was associated with lower mass loss, and sphagnan content increased due to selective preservation. In the peat, we observed weak but significant correlations between the relative abundance of sphagnan (as a fraction of total non-cellulosic sugars) and both aerobic and anaerobic respiration rates. This relationship was stronger in cores collected from hollow microtopographies than those from hummocks. However, there was not a significant relationship between respiration rates and the total (C-normalized) sphagnan content. Sphagnan content increased with depth in the peat profile, indicating selective preservation compared to bulk C. Additionally, we observed the accumulation of non-cellulosic glucose in the deep peat, likely derived from microbial exopolysaccharides.

Warming may result in strong positive feedbacks of carbon loss and global climate change driven by microbial processes if warming alters the balance between primary productivity and decomposition. To elucidate effects of warming on the microbial communities mediating peat carbon dynamics, we explored the abundance of broad microbial groups and their source of carbon (i.e. old carbon versus more recently fixed photosynthate) using microbial lipid analysis (δ<sup>13</sup>C PLFA) of peat samples under ambient temperatures and before/after initiation of experimental peat warming (+ 2.25, + 4.5, + 6.75, and + 9 °C). This analysis occurred over a profile to 2 m depth in an undrained, ombrotrophic peat bog in northern Minnesota. We found that the total microbial biomass and individual indicator lipid abundances were stratified by depth and strongly correlated to temperature under ambient conditions. However, under experimental warming, statistically significant effects of temperature on the microbial community were sporadic and inconsistent. For example, 3 months after experimental warming the relative abundance of Gram-negative bacterial indicators across depth combined and &gt; 50 cm depth and Gram-positive bacterial indicators at 20–50 cm depth showed significant positive relationships to temperature. At that same timepoint, however, the relative abundance of Actinobacterial indicators across depth showed a significant negative relationship to temperature. After 10 months of experimental warming, the relative abundance of fungal biomarkers was positively related to temperature in all depths combined, and the absolute abundance of anaerobic bacteria declined with increasing temperature in the 20–50 cm depth interval. The lack of observed response in the broader microbial community may suggest that at least initially, microbial community structure with peat depth in these peatlands is driven more by bulk density and soil water content than temperature. Alternatively, the lack of broad microbial community response may simply represent a lag period, with more change to come in the future. The long-term trajectory of microbial response to warming in this ecosystem then could either be direct, after this initial lag time, or indirect through other physical or biogeochemical changes in the peat profile. These initial results provide an important baseline against which to measure long-term microbial community and carbon-cycling responses to warming and elevated CO<sub>2</sub>.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8901,"journal":{"name":"Biogeochemistry","volume":"167 5","pages":"631 - 650"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10533-024-01129-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140291548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Elevated nitrogen (N) availability associated with ungulate disturbance has been shown to promote the success of resource-exploitive invasive plants. While ungulate removal is a common restoration intervention, evaluations of its efficacy typically focus on vegetation responses, rather than underlying nutrient cycling. We used multiple chronosequences of ungulate exclusion (10–24 years duration) in three Hawaiian ecosystems (montane wet forest, dry forest, and dry shrubland) to determine N cycle recovery by characterizing gross mineralization and nitrification, soil inorganic N concentrations and leaching, N<sub>2</sub>O emissions, and plant tissue δ<sup>15</sup>N. Ungulate removal led to a 1–2 ‰ decline in foliar δ<sup>15</sup>N in most species, consistent with a long-term decrease in N fractionation via ecosystem N losses, or a shift in the relative turnover of N forms. This interpretation was supported by significant (dry forest) or trending (wet forest) increases in mineralization and decreases in nitrification, but conflicts with lack of observed change in inorganic N pool sizes or gaseous losses, and increased leaching in the dry forest. While results could indicate that ungulate invasions do not strongly impact N cycling in the first place (no uninvaded control sites exist in Hawai’i to test this hypothesis), this would be inconsistent with observations from other sites globally. Instead, impacts may be spatially patchy across the landscape, or ungulate invasions (possibly in combination with other disturbances) may have permanently shifted biogeochemical function or decoupled elemental cycles.

In eastern United States forests, the shrub <i>Rosa multiflora</i> (“rose”) is a dominant invader, yet potential effects on N cycling are poorly understood. Moreover, invasive plant management can impact soil N cycling by decreasing plant N uptake and disturbing the soil. The objectives of this study were to evaluate N cycling along a gradient of rose invasion (observational) and investigate potential changes to N cycling (manipulative) under four different management strategies: (1) do nothing (the control), (2) invasive plant removal, (3) removal followed by native seed mix addition, (4) removal, native seed mix, and chipped rose stem addition. We selected three forest sites experiencing a Low, Medium, or High amount of shrub invasion, and measured N cycling in the early (June) and late (September) growing seasons. We found N was immobilized in June and mineralized in September. One year after experimental management, removal alone had no effect on N cycling compared to control plots, but addition of native seed mix and chipped stems reduced early-season nitrification in our Medium invasion site. Our findings suggest that rose invasion may increase N cycling rates when soils are dry, which may occur more frequently with future climate change. In addition, N cycling responds differentially to management in the year following invasive plant removal, but most noticeably under moderate rose invasion.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8901,"journal":{"name":"Biogeochemistry","volume":"167 3","pages":"301 - 319"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10533-024-01133-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140196114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
